Tom's Tailwind Topics
The Wittman Tailwind was chosen as my project aircraft for its speed, lightweight, and proven record as a successful homebuilt design.
� It makes an excellent cross country aircraft due to its speed, two place configuration, baggage compartment, and fuel capacity.�
� There are several models of the Tailwind. Some of them are known as the W-8, W-9, and W-10. I have chosen the W-10 due to its improved wing design and capability to handle optional larger engines if desired than the original W-8 model.
� Conventional tube and fabric construction, built-up truss ribs, and plywood sheeted wings, render the design to be constructed with basic skills a builder can develope in progress.
